That's great news. It comes with good directions for the install, although the torque specs were hard to figure (gave 3 different values for the same bolt). I used their directions, and it took me about 3 hours to do by myself from the time the truck pulled up out front.
Looks real nice. What tires did you go with again?New wheels and tires installed. First test in 1 week! Hopefully these will be everything we hope they are.

Replaced our mattress with this Dynasty mattress we purchased off Amazon. It's a 10" Cool Breeze, Gel-Memory Foam, Queen RV. It came with 2 gel pillows as well. It took about 3 days for it to fully expand. The initial "chemical smell" that many complained about in the reviews, though present, was very faint, at least in our case, and totally dissipated by the time the mattress fully expanded. We used it for 3 nights this past Memorial weekend, and it was fantastic! No more night sweets for the Commander, and I never woke her getting into, and out of bed.

I was just wanting to go with a topper, Big Lots had 3" Serta Gels for 150 bucks, but the Commander wanted this, sooo...You know the rest of the story. LOL
I do. and it is the serta topper we have. it is heavy too
Nothing wrong with factory airbags. I was tearing the old ones out before I traded the truck. Did not order the factory air system as it is a closed system with no other applications. The Aitlift bolted right back up to the new truck. Hoping to add compressor and tank to run other things.
Agreed. Very happy with the system and it is a closed system so you can not tap into it. I don't have to worry a out what I load in the bed because the truck k will return to ride height.
Looks good to me. Now time to paint the covers. he he.Not a big modification, but while I was cleaning the roof this morning I notice the A/C cover screws were rusted and nasty looking, so i replaced them all with stainless steel screws and washers. #10 x 3/4 pan head phillips, and #10 flat washers.

I know, I know this may seem kinda petty, but after working on that roof, and cleaning all those covers for almost two hours sweatin' my old arse off, those rusty old screws stuck out like a sore thumb, and were getting on my last nerve. LOL
Ugh! I hope the Commander don't read this. LOLLooks good to me. Now time to paint the covers. he he.
Well I guess I'll be to blame for that one.
LuckAs you can see in the first picture the happy jack bed blocks the auto vent, and the a/c vent in the garage area, which we use as living space when we set up and the motorcycles are out. We never use that as a bed. So the plan is to thrash the mattress, cut the platform down to 36 inches, thus unblocking the vents. I will then store the tables there, and have enough room left over for a couple of storage bins.

Once the table storage is removed from the wall, I'm going to install a fold down table for the Commander to work from. I'd kind of like to put a window in there for her too, but the thought of cutting a hole in the side wall for a window terrifies me. LOL

I'll post pics along the way once I start the project. Wish me luck!
Great job, but that vent is almost directly over where the Commander sits at the dinner table. It blows pretty good tho. Also but, not as big a deal, is the auto vent is still blocked. Now if we used that bunk, moving the a/c vent is probably what I'd do.
